OK. Those look good.

I understand what's happening here. The driver script want's to see a
REQUEST_METHOD of 'get', 'post' or 'head' in the passed environment, and
when it's invoked from the command line, that isn't set.

It worked for me when I tested because I didn't use the web user id and
got a group mismatch. The fact that you got the bug page means there
wasn't a group mismatch which is good.

It really looks like a selinux or apparmor or some kind of security
manager issue.
